Treasured

If I could contain what Ive lost,

in a box

I wonder what things I might find

Moments and memories I’ve all but forgot

From the years that have been left behind

If I could recapture those things that I loved

Go back and relive one more time

I would treasure each one and never let go

If I’d known, one day, they’d no longer be mine

Precious the photo frozen in a frame

Holding memories that time steals away

Maintaining a reason to try love again

Reminding me to cherish each day
